AI sharpen doesn't work in Lightroom 10

AI sharpen doesn’t carry over the capture date from the original file in Lightroom 10.0.

Steps:

1. Right click image
2. Choose AI Sharpen
3. Choose settings (in my case, Default strength, no denoise, no create stack)
4. Click sharpen

The resulting image has a capture date exactly four hours earlier than the original (3:09:30PM instead of 7:09:30PM). This is a bug.

    This post evolved as I tested different settings and my understanding of the issue changed. Initially I thought AI sharpening wasn’t working at all because the resulting images didn’t appear alongside the originals as they previously had. But it turned out they were just elsewhere in my collection because they had a different capture time!

    I neglected to change the heading to match my final understanding of the issue, and I apparently can’t edit it or delete this post and start over! Amazing.
